Really curious as to why GM never put a removable access plate above the fuel pump on Tahoes, Yukons and Suburbans? A simple 12'' x 12'' plate configured to the floor above the fuel pump would make a fuel pump replacement SO MUCH EASIER! Had the pump replaced on our '99 Tahoe and required dropping the tank. That SUCKS big time. With just buying this '05 Tahoe the thought crosses my mind to do such if ever have to replace the pump rather than dropping the tank.

Thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Anyone ever done such a modification to their Tahoe or Burb?
